light on temps maximum 75, humidity 45-50%, 600w hps 16 inches from plant leaf temp 74. they are "praying" real hard. looking fantastic
That doesn't add up. Max temp 75, light 16" away and only 74 at the canopy? I'm assuming you have a fan on the canopy because I use a 600W HPS, and 16" away is a little close with temps at least 5-10 degrees hotter than the rest of the room.

The humidity is right for flower, not so much for veg.

It's not an end all be all where it'll kill your plants, but it is a sign of stress.

16 inch fan in corner, canopy height, circulates air real nice. Hooded hps with separate fan and ducting. this is the flower room

My bet is the light then. Back it off a few more inches and they won't pray. Or leave it there because it's not hurting. When they pray, it's usually to close to the light and trying to shut it out, too hot it's because they are trying to breathe better from the underside, and to low of humidity because they want to catch water or pull humidity in. You can check out leaf anatomy, pretty cool shit.

It's just a sign of stress, that's all. Not the end all be all.

Thanks Monkey
i will have to do some more research. 16 might be to close. I have seen other signs of heat stress, mostly curling leaf edges, but no fading or bleaching. Interesting.............

Am I the only one that sees mites? Seriously folks!

Look at the second pic, fan leaf on the bottom of the pic, right where the leaflets all connect to the petiole there is obvious mite webs.

Not the happiest plants.

When harvesting those buds the mites may just all hatch during drying and cover everything in webs.

I can barely make it out on this iPod but I do see it. Yea... I think you might be right unless it's just the pic.
